Why participate?

Prepare and pitch Matej

Do you know that scary feeling you get as you are about to pitch in front of a wider audience? Or in front of potential investors? In each case, good preparation plays an important role in how you will do. As you pitch at home in front of a mirror, you can fix many details. However, a mirror cannot give you feedback.

Do your homework and take advantage of the opportunity to pitch Matej! The best way to perfect a pitch is to start preparing it at the right time and practice it often.

Get feedback and tips immediately
After hearing your pitch, Matej will evaluate the whole situation. Depending on how good the presentation was, he might ask you to further explain your business model and main target group. After that, he will gladly give you feedback and tips. You will find out what was good and what you have to improve. You will learn how to perform with a clear and direct presentation and how to effectively your product and business model.

Avoid the traps that Matej saw in hundreds of presentations
Matej met and helped many startups set business models and create investor pitches, in his successful career. He has extensive experience with startups that presented in front of the committees of P2, SK75, and SK200 of the Slovenian entrepreneurship fund.
